Sautéed Potatoes with Tomato and Basil is a rustic, flavorful side dish that combines golden-brown potatoes with juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh basil for a simple yet satisfying accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the halved potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8–10 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked potatoes and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
  6. Gently stir in the fresh basil just before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Use a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes for color contrast.
  • Best served warm, but also delicious at room temperature.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently in a skillet.
